After 47 years of collecting S&W revolvers , I have accumulated a few wooden boxes. Should I store them open or closed? All of my guns were purchased used not many have boxes.

I have just been reloading for 6 months. I have my loads for .41 SPL and 44 SPL figured up an chrono graphed. A friend asked me to load some .38 SPL for him. I have 158 gr bullets. I had purchased LYMAN 50th and SPEER # 15 books. I was shocked at how different the recommendations for...
